American Public Power Association

Don’t miss this opportunity to explore CEERUM, a participatory energy-planning platform built for public power utilities and the communities they serve. CEERUM helps utilities bring data, stakeholders, and strategy into one place—making it easier to build awareness, educate decision-makers, uncover opportunities, leverage external resources, and build consensus around a shared path forward.

As public power leaders navigate rapid industry change, strategic planning has never been more essential. CEERUM uses local data to inform the planning process, strengthen alignment, and accelerate execution. It serves as a strategic communication tool that helps utilities communicate tradeoffs, compare scenarios, and engage boards, town officials, and community members in meaningful ways.
